Heh. I just hated the way iAUDIO's own firmware kept crashing and 
SANDBLASTING MY EARS IN THE PROCESS! >_< Fortunately RockBox doesn't do 
that. (It also allows me to do totally pointless stuff like plot and 
zoom the Mandelbrot set while I'm listening to my music. Why you'd 
bother with a blue/purple LCD screen I'm not sure...)
